Welcome to The Vow
🪶🖌️Where writing and art find room to breathe. A quiet space to return to your voice and grow your creative life.
🕯️If you’re here, you’re probably someone who has carried creativity inside you for a long time — maybe years, maybe your whole life — but haven’t always had the time, energy, or support to nurture it the way you wanted to. Many of us stepped into full-time jobs, routines, or responsibilities that slowly pushed our artistic selves into the background. Not intentionally, but gradually. Quietly.
And then one day, we wake up and realize how deeply we miss that part of ourselves.
This space is for that moment. For the return. For the gentle rebuild. For the courage it takes to show up again.
🧗♀️Here, we treat writing and art as practices that need space, patience, and breath. We’re not chasing perfection — we are making room for expression. We are learning to listen to our intuition again, to let our ideas take form on the page, and to grow at a pace that feels honest and sustainable.
Whether you’re here to write more, draw more, explore your thoughts, reconnect with inspiration, or simply be in a supportive circle of people who understand the creative pull — I’m glad you made it.
To begin, I’d love to know more about you.
📗🎥🎨What is your favorite book, movie, or painting — and why? Who created it?
Share a photo of you🤍and if you can, share an image for reference and tell us how this work has inspired you or sparked something in your life or creativity.
The why matters — the connection, the feeling, the memory. That’s where your voice lives.
I can’t wait to learn what art moves you.
Welcome in. 🌿
I will share mine🫶
Favorite movie🎥
Changes every few years but for a while its been Apacolypto Directed by Mel Gibson. IMO he's one of the best directors/film makers ever.
Apocalypto grips me because it strips away the illusion of modern comfort and drags us back to the raw, primitive truth of being human. It reminds me that beneath all our routines and distractions lives an ancient animal — alert, instinctive, courageous. Becoming a mother awakened that same primal force in me. I feel a fierce, almost ancestral protectiveness… not just for my daughter’s survival, but for her becoming. This film reminds me that fear is a ghost we inherit — and facing it is simply remembering who we really are.
Favorite Painting 🎨
This will also change but 'The Creation of the Birds' By: Remedios Varo ; Created in 1957, this famous surrealist oil painting on Masonite depicts a mystical and alchemical process of creation.
This is my favorite painting because it captures the exact moment imagination turns into life. Varo paints creation as something mystical and instinctive — a quiet power we channel rather than control. The figure bringing birds into existence feels like every time I’ve tried to give form to something only I could see. It reminds me that creativity is a living force, fragile and radiant, and that artists aren’t just makers — we’re midwives to the unseen.
🤍Thanks for Reading! Please interact, share about yourself and join me in this journey in keeping our writing and visual art Alive!!!
